Bullet Item Rulers for 2008 Mathematics ISAT

These rulers are posted to give teachers and students an opportunity to view them and to give students an opportunity to practice measuring with a paper ruler prior to testing. Rulers will be sent with test materials and must be punched out prior to testing.

If the rulers you print from this page do not print exactly to scale, there are 3 solutions to remedy this:

  1. Make sure that when you print, Page Scaling is set to “None”.
  2. Download the latest version of Adobe Reader (link to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html)
  3. Print the rulers and set a copy machine setting to less than 100% to shrink them or greater than 100% to enlarge them.
